Original text and translations

German text Komm, süßer Tod, komm selge Ruh! Komm führe mich in Friede, Weil ich der Welt bin müde, Ach komm! ich wart auf dich, Komm bald und führe mich, Drück mir die Augen zu. Komm, selge Ruh!

English translation Come, sweet death, come blessed rest! Come lead me to peace For I am weary of the world, Oh come! I wait for you, Come soon and lead me, Close my eyes. Come, blessed rest!
